Farm and Garden Notes.

Plants like fresh soil. To grow a
plant well, pot it often.
Tulips and hyacinths should be planted
about four inches deep and six to eight
inches apart
A considerable quantity of sand, well
mixed with the heavy soil, will make
beets much sweeter than if not used.
Narcissuses are most effective when
planted in clumps. The bulbs should be
set at about the same depth as tulips.
A New Brunswick paper remarks
E'Since the potato bugs made their APP
pearance here the potato rot has entirely
disappeared.
If you have good grass or clover let
both sows and pigs run to them. They
will live and thrive on this with very
little other feed.
If good show of bloom is desired
from bulbs in the spring they should be
planted in the fall, and the earlier they
are planted the better.
One Of the great drawbacks to begin
ners in poultry raising is to attempt to
keep fifty fowls in a house or lot none
too large for twenty-five
Ensilage made from rich material and
properly preserved, says the Prairie
Farmer, is more nearly like pasturage
than any other food we have.
Seventy-tive years ago the first toma-
toes grown in this country were cult
waited as a strange and snowy horti-
cultural curiosity in a garden IN Salem,
Mass.
Mr.. Chamberlain, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural Cottage, says of ensilage: " 1t
seems reasonable; it looks as though
ensilage would pay; 1 think it has come
to stay"

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Good carpets from common moss are
the recent production of a French manu-
featuring establishment.
The cause of grouse disease, which
has proven so destructive to British
game, is to be investigated by Pasteur.
By the use of palladium in the hair
spring and balance, Geneva watch
maker claims to have produced accurate
time-pieces which are unaffected by
magnetism.
A new sword handle has been con-
structed by Leipsic professor on, it is
claimed, anatomical principles. The de-
signer asserts that, being planned with
reference to the hands mechanism, 1t can
be held with absolute safety.
Cotton has been successfully intro
duced into the districts of the Caucasus,
and extensive plantations are to be estab-
lished in the vicinity of Erivan. The
Caucasus Agricultural Sociery will send
agents TO study the American system OF
culture.
Pasteur proves the value of his pre-
ventive of splenic fever by showing that
in France, during the last five years, the
mortality of inoculated sheep has ranged
from 0. 10 to LOS per cent, that of non
inoculated being 10 per cent. Only O.2S
to 0. so per cent. of inoculated cattle died,
and 5 per cent. of others.
So various are the forms of plant-life
that it seems well-nigh impossible to find
a spot where some kind of vegetation will
not thrive. Mr.. John Ball, naturalist
returned from South America, therefore
congratulates himself on having seen an
absolutely plantless land at Tocopill, about
.lor &c he
on the rainless west coast. Not so much
as lichen could be discovered on the
rocks, even with microscopic aid.
A popular fallacy, according to Mr.. A.
W. Hare, of the Royal Society of EdiE
burgh, is the belief that water from a
rushing torrent is safer for drinking pur-
poses than water from sluggish stream,
for the reverse is really the fact. Sewage
contaminated water contains fewer Or
ganisms after ten or twelve days than
river water for the reason that the
microbes rapid growth during the first
two or three days exhausts their food
supply.
An immense drainage work undertaken
by the Russian Government contemplates
the recovery of the vast region known as
the Pinsk marshes, in the southwest of
Russia, near the borders of Gallicia, and
which hitherto has prevented communi-
cation, not only between the Russian
districts on either side, but also between
Russia and Austro- Germany. Up to the
present time about a, 900, 900 acres have
been reclaimed by means of the cOnstruc-
ton of several thousand miles of bitches
and canals.
Recent discoveries have settled the
vexed question of the former existence of
lions in Australia. Bones from the Wei
lington Caves, New South Wales, are re-
garded by Professor Owen, of the British
Museum, as being those Of marsupial
or pouch bearing lion, fully equal in size
to the existing African species. These
remains were found in connection with
those of the Tasmanian Tiger and Tas-
manian Devil. Quite curiously, PROBES
sor Owen many years ago expressed the
conviction that certain ancient herbivor-
Gus animals of Australia must have been
kept in check by a co-existent race of
